New Music Tuesday 9.3.13

One of the best New Music Tuesday's in quite a while. Three albums I'd like my readers to check out.

Okkervil River: The Silver Gymnasium | One of my favorite lyric-centered bands playing.

Neko Case: The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You | One of my favorite voices and songwriters going. Her other albums are on sale too! Check out Fox Confessor Brings the Flood & Middle Cyclone ($5.99 each).

Volcano Choir: Repave | Creative. Imaginative.

This made me smile. Will Sheff/Okkervil River (from Meridian, NH) reuinites with childhood friend Aaron Johnson and plays open mic nights at various locations around New England to introduce the new song, "Down Down The Deep River" from Okkervil River's new album The Silver Gymnasium.

I can't say enough how much I love their albums: Black Sheep Boy (and Appendix), The Stage Names, The Stand Ins. Here's the official video for "Wake and Be Fine" off their new album (via)...
